Having love in your heart doesn't count for much if what comes out of your mouth is ugly and bigoted.
I would love a robot butler.
I'm not tied to budgets. I'm tied to the story that I want to tell, and how much it's going to cost is up to whatever the economic situation of the studio is.
When I was 13, Eddie Murphy was to me what Chris Tucker was to 13-year-olds when I made 'Rush Hour.' And 'Rush Hour' really came out of the fact that I grew up watching 'Beverly Hills Cop' and '48 Hrs.'
I fear God and respect God and love God.
Do I have a small movie in me? Yeah, probably, when I'm 60. But I'm not Hal Ashby, I'm not Roman Polanski. I'm true to myself. Whether you like it or not.
Before I did 'Rush Hour,' I was a big fan of Jackie Chan movies and I had seen all of them.
Everyone who knows me knows that I don't have a prejudiced bone in my body.
When I do short films, I try to do something completely out of my comfort zone, out of my element.
I'm not invited to the Vanity Fair dinner where they watch the Oscars - or even the Oscars themselves - so I sit at home and watch it with a bunch of close friends.
